Some of you have continued to play on Times Tables Rockstars – well done!  Some of you haven’t logged in for a few weeks.  This week, we would like you to play at least 5 games on it – under ‘Studio’.  We shall be checking you’ve done this and if you don’t get the chance to do it at home then you will be able to complete the games at homework club next week.

Homework 15.11.17

Welcome to Barvember!

We have worked on using bar models to solve problems and this week, we are challenging you to show someone else!  We’d love to see you teaching someone else about bar models and whether you can challenge them in their mathematical thinking!  Feel free to reply to this with a photo or message or tweet me @Waddallsaint to show your awesome work!  We’d love to see resilience and maybe even very confused faces!

 

Spellings

This week, the spellings are very easy but you need to know how to use them as modal verbs to suggest possibility.

can

could

may

might

must

shall

should

will

would

ought

Can you write a sentence which is grammatically accurate and makes sense for each?  Think about what the modal verb does to the meaning.

Who’s that on TV?!

Keep an eye out for us on TV tonight and on BBC Lincolnshire Radio!  We have had such an amazing week working with so many different people as part of our ‘Waddington Remembered’ project and the memorial service at the IBCC.  We are so lucky to be able to take part in these services.  Thank you to everyone who made it all possible.

Mental Maths

We have revised the 4 and 6 times tables.  We are focussing on division in class.  Can recite your multiplication facts and then find the inverse?  e.g. 4 x 7 = 28 so 28 ÷ 4 =7

This will be the focus of our mental maths test next week.
